Monday is the 51st Anniversary of Roe v. Wade, which has become a day of mourning for Democrats since the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health destroyed their national right to this sacrament. As my colleague Mike Miller reported, President Joe Biden is signaling that abortion access will be the Democrats' 2024 rallying cry. Biden's campaign manager said as much:

"A vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is a vote to restore Roe, and a vote for Donald Trump is a vote to ban abortion across the country," said Julie Chavez Rodriguez, Biden's campaign manager. "These are the stakes in 2024."

The Biden campaign released this cringe video called "Forced," which features Austin Dennard, a Texas OB-GYN who, because of the state's Heartbeat law, says she had to flee the state in order to get an abortion.

WATCH:

As inflation drives the price of goods and services through the roof and the border is overrun, Biden has decided "reproductive freedom" is the most important issue Americans are facing. 

President Joe Biden is hammering his message on reproductive freedom this week with executive actions, a new campaign ad and a campaign rally on the same day as the New Hampshire primary.

The messaging and policy blitz marking what would have been the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade is part of broader election-year strategy to frame the 2024 race as a choice between Democrats who pledge to protect abortion and contraception and Republicans who have called for further restrictions.

Republicans “continue to push for a national ban and devastating new restrictions,” Biden warned in a statement citing. “Because of Republican elected officials, women’s health and lives are at risk.”

And guess who is being platformed as a prominent voice in the fight for abortion rights? Our hapless Vice President Kamala Harris.

Vice President Kamala Harris is taking center stage in the Democrats’ renewed push for abortion rights during this year’s election and she will mark the 51st anniversary of the Roe v. Wade ruling on Monday in Wisconsin.

It will be the first in a series of events hosted by Harris, and it comes one day before she joins President Joe Biden at another campaign event focused on abortion in Virginia. First lady Jill Biden and second gentleman Doug Emhoff are also expected to be there.

In her speech in Wisconsin, Harris plans to hammer former President Donald Trump for saying he is “proud” to have helped overturn Roe v. Wade, which he enabled by nominating three conservative justices to the U.S. Supreme Court during his term.

“Proud that women across our nation are suffering?” Harris will say, according to excerpts released by her office. “Proud that women have been robbed of a fundamental freedom? That doctors could be thrown in prison for caring for patients? That young women today have fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers?”

Republicans, this is low-hanging fruit. The well-spoken (and credible) governors, senators, and reps like AR Gov. Sarah Huckabee-Sanders, AL Sen. Katie Britt, and TN Sen. Marsha Blackburn could do verbal jiu-jitsu on Kamala's infamous word salads. Go on the offensive and put these ladies front and center as the rebuttal voices on anything Madame Vice President has to say on abortion.

Welcome to all our Tennesseans who are in our nation’s capital for the 2024 March for Life!

But the bat signal has gone forth, and every Democrat in Congress and the Senate is getting in on the act. 

This is all they have for 2024. Not saying it won’t be a challenge for GOP campaigns but abortion is it. It’s all they’ll be talking about from now to November. GOP candidates should prepare accordingly. https://t.co/af8PNkfMmU

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who we don't hear from much anymore (thankfully), interrupted her Botox session to post.

The vast majority of Americans know that reproductive care is health care — but extreme Republicans terminated Roe v Wade and are pushing abortion bans because they don’t believe in birth control, but do believe in controlling women.

Fang-Fang's boyfriend, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), wants you to know he cares deeply about a woman's right to her own body.

51 years ago, Roe v. Wade put women in charge of their bodies and their futures. Two years ago, the Supreme Court took it away.

I will always defend a woman’s most fundamental freedom and continue the fight to restore, protect, and expand this basic right.

— Rep. Eric Swalwell (@RepSwalwell) January 22, 2024

Notice how they are cementing their narrative: "Fundamental freedom," "reproductive care," "basic rights" — as if the right to live and breathe is not the first and most basic right that gives a person other rights. The GOP needs to get on the ball. While several lawmakers posted videos and X posts, and some actually attended Friday's March for Life, you could tell it was a disjointed, ad hoc occurrence rather than a focused campaign. They have so much to learn, and with the first major primary on Tuesday, we have so little time. Students For Life president Kristan Hawkins hits it right between the eyes.

“Our friends in the Republican party need to touch some grass,” said Kristan Hawkins, the president of Students for Life of America, the organization behind the summit. “Those who say now that we shouldn’t be talking, that Republican candidates, those seeking for office, should hide from the abortion issue – they continue to be wrong. We won’t win if we put our head in the sand.”

They also need to engage Hawkins, and young Chayse Leavitt, who articulates not only what Roe did, but where the fight continues.

It is heartening that Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) made his stand. Republicans need to take cues from him in setting an agenda of their own — that LIFE is on the ballot — and with a cogent message, challenge the Democrats on what Americans truly support. A culture of life or a culture of death?

BREAKING: Speaker Mike Johnson speaks at the March for Life.

“I am myself the product of an unplanned pregnancy. In January of 1972, just 1 year before Roe v Wade, my parents who were just 17 at the time, CHOSE LIFE. And, I am very profoundly grateful that they did.” pic.twitter.com/Lb2HxxTBp1
